ENGINE EXHAUST GAS CAUTION
(CARBON MONOXIDE)
• Avoid inhaling engine exhaust gases.
Engine exhaust gases contains carbon
monoxide, which has no color or odor.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas. It
can cause unconsciousness and can
be lethal if inhaled.
• If at any time you suspect that exhaust
gases are entering the vehicle, have the
vehicle inspected and repaired immedi-
ately by a Daewoo Dealer or Daewoo
Authorized Service Operation. If it is
necessary to drive under such condi-
tions, do so only with all windows fully
open.
• To protect against exhaust gases enter-
ing the vehicle, the exhaust system and
body should be inspected:
– each time the vehicle is raised for an
oil change.
– whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system.
– whenever the exhaust system, un-
derbody or rear of the vehicle is dam-
aged or becomes corroded.
• Do not operate the engine in confined
areas such as garages or other closed
areas any more than needed to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an un-
confined area for more than a short time
with the engine running, place the air
intake lever to the fresh air mode to
draw the outside air into the vehicle and
set the fan switch to high speed.
• Never sit(or leave the children) in a
parked or stopped vehicle for any ex-
tended period of time with the engine
running.
• Avoid driving with trunk lid or tailgate
open, as exhaust gases could enter the
vehicle. If you must drive with the trunk
lid or tailgate open, close all windows,
place the air intake lever to the fresh air
mode to draw the outside air into the
vehicle, and set the fan switch to high
speed.

HAZARDOUS DRIVING
When hazardous driving is encountered be-
cause of water, snow, ice, mud, sand or
similar hazard, follow these suggestions.
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
• When braking depress the brake pedal
with a light up-and-down motion until the
vehicle is stopped.
• If stalled in snow, mud or sand, use 2
(second) gear and accelerate slowly.
Accelerate slowly to avoid spinning the
front wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other
nonslip material under the front wheels
to provide traction when stalled in ice,
snow or mud.
